Byblos Miami

"The Eastern Mediterranean hotspot, Byblos, offers a back-room lounge area and private event space with a capacity for up to 75 guests. Available for receptions, seated dinners, and private after-parties, the room features its own private entrance, large bar area, and DJ booth with an LED screen backdrop." - Juliana Accioly

"Byblos always has a stellar Miami Spice offering, which certainly didn’t disappoint this year. The Meditterean-leaning South Beah restaurant offers a nightly Spice menu for $45 a person. Its three-course menu lets guests pick two appetizers to start, like the lamb ribs or the spinach pide, followed by choice of entree (the fried chicken is a can’t miss) and wrapped with three different dessert options." - Alona Martinez, Olee Fowler

"Byblos exudes a seductive atmosphere from the decor to the menu; every detail conveys Eastern Mediterranean sophistication. The restaurant’s tasting menus range from three- to five-course feasts with dishes portioned out to be enjoyed family style. The meal includes offerings like black truffle pide with buffalo mozzarella, halloumi and tartufata; and hamachi with jalapeno labneh." - Juliana Accioly

"While there’s probably not a restaurateur in South Florida who doesn't believe they're offering diners a one-of-a-kind culinary experience, Byblos is the real deal. To get the most of the flavors, order a range of dishes to share with your group (there's plenty of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly options, too). Just don't miss the Middle Eastern fried chicken, served with tahini, za’atar, and a housemade hot sauce with some serious kick, and the short rib kebab with truffle tzatziki and oregano." - Nila Do Simon, Jennifer M. Wood

"Byblos' airy and bright atmosphere sets the tone for the Mediterranean delights that await. This is the perfect spot for a happy hour drink (the "Marrakech Garden" delights), brunch (the manoushi never fails), or even a family feast (the "no hungry kids” menu comes in handy!)." -Ian Malone"
